Citta della Pieve in Umbria - Wall Art

Città della Pieve is gem, a large medieval walled town high up on a hill. It has a duomo (cathedral) and a large tower, the Torre del Pubblico. At 38 metres in height dominates the main square and views up to the town from the valley for miles around. Citta della Pieve is full of alleyways, archways and beautiful architecture and is a photographer's dream. Much of the construction in the town has been undertaken using locally made terracotta bricks. The town has many festivals during the year including Il Palio de la Terzieri (a renaissance costume parade) and a saffron festival (saffron is cultivated locally). The combination of architecture and activity makes it very popular with tourists. All of this is represented in my work.
